Vrana Palace - the residence of the monarchs of Bulgaria, located in the vicinity of Sofia. The residence includes a park, a two-storey hunting lodge and the palace itself, which loosely combines elements of several historical styles (from modern to French classicism), but is dominated by Venetian-dalmatiyskie motives. It is noteworthy that the furniture and paneling in one of the palace halls are made of Karelian birch, which the Bulgarian rulers gave Alexander III.

The first owner of land near Sofia became King Ferdinand I, who purchased it in 1898. Two-storey hunting lodge was built in 1904, and from 1909 to 1914 took place the construction of the main palace. In 1906, it began construction of various outbuildings for the future of the farm. Since 1912 the farm is officially renamed the palace Vrana.

In 1918 the residence passed to Boris by Ferdinand III, who has equipped the palace headquarters of the government in connection with a coup in June 1923.

During the Second World War the palace seriously affected by the massive Allied bombing, but was restored in a short time as a renewed residence Georgi Dimitrov. It is known that the body of the second king of Bulgaria - Boris III was secretly reburied in the palace park. After another change of power and the fall of the Communists, the king's heart was exhumed and moved, this time to the Rila Monastery.

In 1998, according to the decision of the Constitutional Court, it was decided to restore the palace to Simeon Saksoburggotskomu, the former king. Since 2002, Simeon took a hunting lodge that once built his grandfather Ferdinand I.

Park Vrana together on its territory more than 400 species of plants and is a recognized masterpiece of landscape architecture in Bulgaria. The landscape park worked such famous masters as Kraus, Georgiev, Schacht. The park is a lake and a few rock gardens.
